About Us

Teens Growing In Christ is the youth group of Central Baptist Church in Binghamton, NY.  All teens in 7th through 12th grade are welcome to attend!

Our mission is to...  
...To love God and to love others. 
- And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.  And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.” - Mark 12:30-31 (KJV)

TGIC meets for regular times of fun and fellowship which are centered around Biblical teaching.  We are a local church ministry connected with the Word Of Life Clubs.  The weekly meetings include hanging-out, biblical teaching, music, games, and small group time.
